About the tides at Myakka River
Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.5 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The mean range is small, about 1.3 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 1.9 ft. The next spring tides peak on October 28, with a range of 2.6 ft. Neap tides follow on Thursday, when the range shrinks to 1.1 ft. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.5 ft on October 29, and the lowest is −0.7 ft on January 21.
This is a prediction station. NOAA calculates its tides from past measurements at this spot, but there is no live gauge today. NOAA measured the tide here from 1977 to 1978 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Manasota, 8 mi away, where high tide comes about 3 h 7 m earlier. For tidal currents, see Venice Inlet.
